Match State: Tea, Day 2
well another interesting session, a few wickets and a fair amount
of runs too
Australia's lead has extended to 159 runs
the West Indies would hope to quickly clean up the Australian tail
in the final session
and go about reducing this deficit
but it will certainly take something special from the West Indians
to stop the Australians winning from here
One suspects Australia won't mind being bowled out in the final
session as it will allow them a crack at the West Indian batsmen
late in the afternoon after a full day in the field

So an absolute thrashing by the Australians in the end
a win by an innings and 126 runs
Match State: End of Match
The West Indies have been comprehensively embarrased by a much more
powerful and focussed side
Australia winning midday through the third session - requiring only
just over half of the alotted time for this Test
Giving Australia 11 consecutive Test victories
Equaling the record winning streak held by the West Indies team
from 1983/84 to 1984/85
An emphatic victory for the Australia, they were particularly
strong in the bowling department, depsite injuries to Gillespie,
Fleming and of course Warne
Glenn McGrath being the main stand out with a match tally of 10/27
The West Indies can draw very few positives from this game, but one
of those few was the bowling of debutant Marlon Black, who bowled
a great deal better than some of his team mates and got the
rewards
The win gives Australia a 1-0 lead in this 5-Test series
Glenn McGrath has been announced Man of the Match
